Spotify Heardle not working or displays 'isn't available at your location' message; Heardle lost without playing issue also pops up

Heardle is a simple yet interactive music trivia game. Similar to wordle, it is a puzzle game where you must guess the music based on hints.

You get six chances to guess a song and you’ve to do it in as few tries as possible. It not only refreshes your mood but also helps you rediscover old music that you might have forgotten.

Recently, Spotify announced that it is acquiring the game and merging it with its platform. However, it’s currently limited to a few countries, but it will expand to more regions in the coming days.

With that said, some users who are trying to play this game are now reporting (1, 2, 3, 4) that it is not working for them. Instead, it displays an error message that says ‘isn’t available at your location’.

Here are some reports for reference:

@Heardle_app is suddenly no longer available in my location? The absolute loss I feel. This was my favorite game! Goodbye, streak of 88 *sobs* (Source)

thanks, @Spotify for not allowing me to play @Heardle_app anymore. I absolutely love you for it. I really hope you guys understand sarcasm. This is absolute bullshit. (Source)

This left many users disappointed since the game was working for them until Spotify acquired it. Users have also tried accessing it using a VPN, but no luck.

Apart from the aforementioned issue, some users are also reporting that they are not getting their Heardle for the day and receive ‘You didn’t get today’s Heardle. Better luck tomorrow!’ error.

@Spotify what have you done? I didn’t get any guesses at Heardle tonight. Just came up with the answer straight away… (Source)

Spotify, what have you done to Heardle? I didn’t even get to have a go and it said I got it. (Source)

Unfortunately, there is no workaround available for any of these issues, which means you’ll have to wait until Spotify addresses them. And when they do, we’ll let you know by updating this article.
